FOUR LEAF CLOVER
The four leaf clover is a
universally accepted symbol of good luck with its origin ages
old. According to legend, Eve carried a four leaf clover
from the Garden of Eden. The true Irish
shamrock is actually a clover.
The word shamrock comes
from the Irish word "seamrog" meaning "little clover".
A form of clover called "white clover" or
Trifolium repens
forma minus, family Leguminosae, was the
original shamrock of Ireland. |
